Monasterio Series 8: Nights in Casa Vallejo

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

This isn't the first time that I'll be meeting Tita Tate and Tito Zadriel. Pero kung umasta ako, para bang ito ang unang beses. Maybe it's because this time, they will meet me as a pregnant woman.

For some reason, what also made me anxious is the truth that I rejected Terrence's marriage proposal. Alam kaya nila ang tungkol doon? Hindi namin napag-usapan ni Terrence pero may pakiramdam ako na may ideya sila.

Still, I'm hoping that they don't know anything about that.

"You're anxious." puna ni Terrence habang pababa kami ng kotse niya.

Maiksing oras lang ang itinagal namin sa biyahe dahil malapit lang naman ang restaurant. Hindi na rin ako nakapag-ayos masiyado pero siniguro ko naman na magmumukha pa rin akong disente sa paningin nila.

"This is inevitable. Kailan mo pa sinabi sa kanila na buntis ako?"

"The same day we found out that you're pregnant."

Dinala niya ang kamay ko sa labi niya at marahan itong hinalikan. As we entered the restaurant, the attention of the people inside were already directed to us.

"There's the CEO of your favorite designer clothes!"

"Oo nga. She became prettier. Hiyang niya ang isang Monasterio."

"Sino ba ang hindi mahihiyang kung mayroon kang jowa na isang Monasterio, hindi ba? Wala kang karapatan pumangit kapag sila ang nakarelasyon mo."

Those mutterings around somehow made me chuckle. Totoo naman. Kapag isa sa mga Monasterio ang ka-relasyon mo, hindi ka puwedeng pumangit. Sa dami ng mga babaeng nakapalibot sa kanila, hindi imposibleng makahanap sila ng mas higit pa.

But then I also heard that once they love, they love really hard.

"You heard that, Terrence? Bawal pumangit kapag isang Monasterio ang boyfriend." bulong ko.

With his snobbish expression, he doesn't seem to care about that.

"You can be ugly and you will still be beautiful in my eyes, Priscilla. I don't just base my feelings from how you look."

I smiled. "We're different them. I'm basing my feelings from how you look. Sobrang gwapo mo kaya mahal kita."

Sinulyapan niya ako, nakataas ang sulok ng labi.

"If I turned ugly, your love for me will fade then?"

My eyes narrowed at his question as a mocking smile won't just leave my lips. I even leaned the side of my head against his shoulder and bit my lower lip.

"It depends on your performance. On how you can make my bed rock."

He chuckled. The huskiness of his voice sounded really captivating and seducing.

"Thank, God. I'm fucking good at that."

Humagikhik ako. No doubt.

The smile slowly vanished from my lips when I saw the table where Tita Tate and Tito Zadriel were sitting. They were busy talking. Tita Tate was slowly nodding her head, a teasing smile was etched on her lips. Titig na titig sa kaniya si Tito Zadriel, tila ba humahanga.

Terrence usually stared at me the way his father stares at his mother.

"Sorry we're a bit late."

Iyon kaagad ang bungad ni Terrence na naging dahilan para mapatingin sa gawi namin ang mga magulang niya. I smiled at them, mostly at Tita Tate. Her lips stretched out for a warm smile, too.
